This is essentially an HD remaster rather than a remake, and as someone who is aware of the indirect evolutions of this game series, all the way through the various Warhammer Quests, this return to roots is also a return to form. As for the tokens, they pop out easy enough, with no risk of tearing. Once again these are on a laminated card with a textured surface. I have some things to say about these trays, but I’ll get onto that lower down in the miniatures section.

Search For Treasure (revealing either a defined result known only to Zargon, or draw a random card which has a 50/50 chance of being good or bad!) The spell cards are given to the Elf and Wizard. The Wizard chooses an element first, then the Elf, then the Wizard gets the remaining two. Dread spells are only used by Zargon. If you take out the overlord from the previous two-game out of the equation, you get Gloomhaven. The gameplay consists of a tactical combat style game where the motives of the world are continuously shifting. Each change that happens to the world will depend on the players’ choices throughout the game. That results in an endless number of possible scenarios and endings to the game.

What’s in the box?

Which is exactly what I’ve opted to do, bar the few cases where a smooth surface can be cleaned up. I’ve just ignored the mould lines and left them on. Heroquest 2021 Miniatures – The Monsters HeroQuest: Rise of the Dead Moon is an immersive and thrilling fantasy board game that takes players on an epic journey through a world filled with dark magic, sinister creatures, and ancient mysteries. Developed as a modern adaptation of the classic HeroQuest board game, Rise of the Dead Moon promises to captivate both nostalgic fans and newcomers alike with its engaging gameplay and rich storytelling. The heroes in the game were once human, but due to their loyalty to the king, the evil Vanestra turned them into mice. Each one of you needs to escape her evil by trying to navigate through a huge castle in an effort to save the king. The endgame is to defeat Vanestra, save the king, and with that, save the kingdom. The dwarf is the only character that can disarm traps without the aid of the specialized kit which is either bought in the armory or found during certain quests.

It can take time to earn things, but other avenues open up (mining, fishing, interacting with townsfolk) to keep you engaged as the in-game days... Once again though, they are let down by lots of mould lines and soft plastic which has warped in several places.Star Wars fans are going to love the Imperial Assault board game. While it may seem like it has nothing to do with other games like HeroQuest, once you dive into it, you’ll find that is not true. The game features two gameplays: campaign and skirmish. After several games- a couple solo using the app and around half a campaign with my kids and a rotating group of their friends- I’m prepared to state that Heroquest is most definitely not the greatest dungeoncrawl of all time and I do think that the hushed whispers of admiration and middle-aged nods of fond reminiscence are nostalgic exaggerations. However, there are some things about this design are striking – and, unfortunately, they are the things that the cloners have largely left behind.
